  • Melissa Bell: LEAVE PHILADELPHIA, NEVER by Michael Wells-Oakes
    “

    Wonderful family drama that examines the influence of religion and patriarchy on one family. Michael is a master at subtext. There is so much going on underneath the surface of these scenes. I love the way the extended family (the wives, kids and lovers) is present in the scenes without being onstage. Each situation is so carefully thought out and masterfully crafted. Highly recommended!

    Very real, at least to me. I was also in the music business so it rang true to me.

    This play is riveting and uniquely theatrical! It takes your breath away in its horror and yet it is ultimately uplifting. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful 2-hander! Very funny, very real issues, very real emotions. Great for small theatre companies because it would be easy to produce and provide a full evening of enjoyment and discussion.
